DERBY — Derby law enforcement investigated thefts from cell phone stores in the area of Pershing Drive this week and believe they know the suspect’s identity Thursday.

There have been three thefts, police said Wednesday. One employee said the suspect asked questions about a phone and then took off running from the store with the phone. Police said all thefts took place in the afternoon.

Derby police managed to get photos of the suspect from store surveillance cameras.

“Based on tips to the PD, we believe we have the suspect identified. The cases remain under investigation so we cannot comment further at this time,” Derby police said Thursday.
